Wussername Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great pictures Nigel. Ludham village and Womack is one of the most delightfull places to visit on the Broads. The church, Womack Staithe with its shop, a delight for holiday folk. A fishing tackle shop, a tea shop, scones to die for, the pub, a mini super market. Seago lived there. The late Queen Mother was a frequent visitor. Owen Waters, a painter was a student of Seago and his magnificent work is still available in certain galleries in Norwich. He died not so very long ago. His talent is sadly missed. However, Nigel, I must take you to task. You very rarely post on this forum. And now you inform us after the event. Or did I miss it. With kind regards Nigel Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Lovely photos. Was the garden open at that big Dutch house? I expect you know the one I mean, between the dyke and the staithe. Would love to see inside there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodwose Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 I am glad to hear that you all liked the pictures. Regarding the Dutch House (formerly known as The Walnuts), photographs 328 to 336 are taken in the garden. Well, OK, one of them is of a Tiger Moth flying overhead but that was taken from the garden. There is some history of the house on this page http://www.ludhamarchive.org.uk/hayhurst.htm I was a volunteer helping load people onto the ferries which ran between the various gardens but I was not involved in the publicity of the event. It was very widely publicised and I had it on the Ludham Archive website. The event takes place every two years so I guess the next one will be in June 2019. If I hear a definite date, I will let you know. There will be a post event meeting but this has not happened yet. As for posting on forums, I have been a member of this forum since the very early days but I only post stuff if I think it is interesting or helpful. Best wishes Nigel (sunny Ludham) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
